“For You make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of Your presence.” Psalm 21:6 (ESV)
Seeds of real joy – you know the kind that last – are embedded deep in the heart of those who chose to believe. Real lasting joy radiating from within because the One they trust is the One who walks with them every step of the way. Extraordinary joy comes to those who linger, draw near and cling to Jesus. Sounds so inviting….to truly be filled to overflowing .
Ever witnessed the seeds of joy exploding? Laughter filling the air because He’s the lifter of her head. Storms may surround her, but moments in His Word remind her that God’s joy rises above earthly circumstances. (The joy of the Lord is your strength.)
Ever seen the radiance of real joy? Stunning, captivating because He calls her His own. The world may ignore her, but listening to God’s voice she shines in the warmth of His love. (Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.)
Ever heard the pure sound of extraordinary joy? Compelling because He sings over her as the morning dawns. Noise may seek to distract her, but she is quieted in the presence of God. (Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!)
Filled to overflowing….the cup full and never empty… seeds of real joy that flourish and grow. The world can rain on our parade, but no one can extinguish the rays of the Son (Jesus) shining over us. Lasting – radiant – extraordinary JOY – filled to overflowing!
“Sweet Jesus, joy can slip through our fingers – help us to trust You more day by day.”
For His Glory
